Comments on: John MacArthur: Victims are Everywhere https://wthrockmorton.com/2018/08/31/john-macarthur-victims-are-everywhere/ A [retired] college psychology professor's observations about public policy, mental health, sexual identity, and religious issues Thu, 07 Feb 2019 18:46:38 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Karen Reid https://wthrockmorton.com/2018/08/31/john-macarthur-victims-are-everywhere/#comment-99875 Thu, 07 Feb 2019 18:46:38 +0000 https://www.wthrockmorton.com/?p=33229#comment-99875 In reply to zmster.

I call “Grace to You” (Grace to WHO?). But seriously, go on yelp.com, and look up Grace church near Greeley CO, to read what one of John MacArthur’s “hench men” did to ME on Easter Sunday–this man is ALSO the man who organized John MacArthur’s Strange Fire conference. I’m no longer a Conservative Baptist, but rather a non-denominational Christian.

I was devastated to learn that during the years I actually GAVE $100 on autopay to GTY, its staff built a $2 million dollar mansion glorifying John MacArthur, and featuring the first editions of his books. I also gave generously AND sacrificially to a man in “ministry” once, only to find out he had lived in a beautiful mansion, with spa, jacuzzi, heated floors and touchless faucets. Something died inside me then, but the lesson I learned was that God MEANT what He said in 1 John 4:1, “Do NOT believe every spirit, but TEST the spirits to see whether they are of God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”

I am a white senior citizen female who uses a powerchair (I’m also a service-connected disabled veteran), but I was kicked out of the car of the man who organized John MacArthur’s 2013 “Strange Fire” conference (Travis Allen), who is now pastor of Grace (less) church in Greeley, CO, after he invited me to Easter dinner with his family, because I refused to deny that Jesus came to me in a glorious, amazing dream as I emerged from suffering severe trauma in my teens.
Afterward, the widow of the church accused me of “digging up things on John MacArthur” when I informed her of the bullying, fear and intimidation I’d discovered happens at TMS (one man told me he was kicked in the shins by a counselor for wanting to leave), and for the nepotism I’d discovered, as well as the fact that everyone has to agree with JMac. However, she now has to eat her words, because TMS and TMUS are NOW on academic probation for those VERY issues. Nevertheless, it embarrasses me as a Christian that white churches don’t like black people in ministry, and you have my sympathy.

Apparently MacArthur is spearheading some new effort to tamp out social justice concerns once and for all in the evangelical church, issuing a statement that has garnered a few thousand signatures already. It’s this year’s Nashville Statement and every bit as misguided.

They released this on September 4, and given the news from Washington I think it got buried.

I have to agree. When the man is right, he’s right.
